I'll take a double CD Mikko, add it to whatever's being sent to me whenever.

Been just cleaning basement and thinking whether I should dump shitloads of Ildjarn covers/inserts - most of all Ildjarn is dead. Got bunch of slightly "scratched" discs (was storaged in spindels and have small dots or such marks). May pack some copies to be sold as "2nd hand items". If someone doesn't have this release, double cd with two old demos (featuring emperor members) and lots of unreleased stuff. Drop me a line and I guess I'm selling those for like 9 euro range (original price 17e). Only faulty is little surface marks in discs..

stating the obvious here but if anyone doesn't have this already, jump to it! immense set. gonna dig it out and listen to it again now actually

(Wouldn't a re-release of the whole, original 6x10" "Experiences Musicales" be brilliant?)

late to this but the remaining tracks from the original experiences musicales set not on the new rumpsti pumpsti reissue were released on a single cd back in the mid-90's which is still easy enough to track down. rumpsti pumpsti has copies in fact ... http://mailorder.rumpsti-pumsti.com/index.php?productID=2772

... unless you mean a complete reissue on 6 10"s (which would be nice but i'm happy with cd's)

Does anyone now who Astor is? A Vincent over the Sink related thing?

More of a Red Hot Chili Peppers related project than a Vincent Over The Sink one.

Red Hot Chili Peppers related project? Please tell us more!!!

ha, yeah, i'd like to hear more about this too! and i'll chime in on the astor praise also. and speaking of vincent over the sink, i really like the bowles 7" that kye put out this year too

The last arrive:

Luc FERRARI - L'oeuvre Electronique (INA-GRM 2009) 10 x CD

Great release. It includes all the best electronique works - many of them are true masterpieces. Added over 100 pages mini-book with many photos, interesting interview, biography and detailed history of every included recording. Must!

just posted this over on the troniks board but there's a new francois bayle box that's just been released also. looks pretty incredible ... http://www.chondriticsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=501944#p501944

V/A - Arachnid Claims Its Prey (2xCassette) - only got through the first tape. Mixed bag so far but I especially enjoyed the weirdness of the ANTIchildLEAGUE track. And I kind of cringed when I heard mine again :(

Content Nullity - Scorn of Totality (Cassette) - really enjoying this, especially the b-side. kind of sounds like a cross between Renegade era Propergol and Pleasure Ground era Prurient. listened to it 4 times in a row while doing some reading.

John Carpenter & Alan Howarth - Halloween II + III (LPs) - the soundtrack for Halloween II is okay. The theme is pretty good and all but overall it just doesn't grab me. Halloween III is another story. Much more experimental and risky but it totally pays off. It reminds me a lot of the Escape From NY OST at times.

and then a healthy dose of Skinny Puppy and In Aeternam Vale

Agreed.  When I listen to one, I usually listen to the other soon after.  Strong tonal associations for me.

Good news on that Bayle set.  As far as I'm concerned, he's the master of electro-acoustics.  It's great news that more people will be exposed to Purgatoire (though I'm confused why it isn't a 2CD) and Son Vitesse-lumière (his greatest masterpiece).  Very cool set.  Thanks for making me aware.

I like the Halloween II soundtrack more than I expected to. I do not remember anything about the film. I ordered Prince of Darkness but received HII instead so now have to wait for a restock of PoD.

Grunt - world draped in a camouflage lp

Extremely varied album. Covers many styles of the PE genre. I have not heard a better PE album all year. Highly recommended. A funny note, this record has plain black center labels on both sides, so I looked to the matrix number to identify the A side but both sides are marked A after the matrix number! I only knew it was wrong when I heard mikko shouting "dance for the genocide!".

The A is irrelevant. Look at the matrix number and the last before the letter I think is 1 or 2 aka A or B. It's the same on a lot of FA releases. I'd be more specific but I'm not at home to check

What's your opinion on this one?  I'm a big fan of Ryan's work but couldn't get into this tape at all.

You are absolutely correct. I just looked. Thanks for clearing that up.

Visitations ‎– Untitled (Time-Lag Records 2007) CD

Something for good morning. I love this release. There is all what is the best in the psychodelic folk tradition. Sweety female voice and the great free improv guitars and other voices... one of the best band in modern free folk genre... hats off.

BASTARD NOISE "Galactic Sanitarium" LP
huh! With many productive bands you once in a while get feeling like "what's new then?". I don't have complete MITB/BN, but I date to say it's pretty damn close. Or used to be, until at some point I felt there isn't enough new substance. But now, especially A-side, I feel there is somehow fresh innovation there. Even if traditional caveman electronics and spacy feel of side long piece - somehow I feel closer to 90's MITB noise. Great sounds, great composition of distinctive sonic elements. Most definitely requires further rotations soon!

Saw this record at the record shop and almost bought it because of this post. Bastard Noise has been playing some progressively better live sets lately.

Heiman the other person credited on the first side A-side was Greg Heiman the guy that almost made the once promised Man Is The Bastard documentary.

I listened to BASTARD NOISE "Descent To Mimas" CD on Ground Fault again and I think that it truly one of the best things Bastard Noise ever did. It has always been one of my favorites. Also I used to listen to "Skull Wave" on repeat and read for hours.

Megaptera "Disease" -> one of my first "industrial" cds, bought inside another one megaptera cd case. i realized it months later... anyway, I think I like it more now than back in the days
Caligula 031 "Slavetrade 2000" (filth and violence) mc. power electronics as it should be.
The Sound "Jeopardy" lp
Virgin Prunes "If I die, I die" lp

VERTONEN - Trigger Field (Solipsism 1999) CD-R

Still impressive. Very good item.
